The tour was great. The ride was comfortable. The experience was wonderful. We enjoyed the carpet demonstration. Our guide and driver were fantastic.
Tour guide was excellent move that leisurely pace took us to an additional sites. That were very interesting. I highly recommend.
Yesra was phenomenal - - -such a wealth of information!! The day was absolutely perfect with all the activities included. The tour through Ephesus was absolutely amazing. The pottery stop was so informative and neat. The Turkish lunch was outstanding and such a nice way to try new food. The rug demo was incredible as well. They really did a hard sell at the end which you had to repeatedly say no. However, this was the best event we did on our 10 day vacation!!! Highly recommended.
Cetin showed us the ruins, the house of Mary, Artemis temple, and a great lunch! He explained all the history and answered all our questions. It was a great day and a great tour. Highly recommend.

My mom and I had the pleasure of learning everything we needed to know about Ephesus, Turkey, and a lot of things in between from our guide, Ibrahim! We had a great time with him and Eda. We really did learn so much! Every question we had, if we had one, was answered, and then some. We had a great lunch and got to do a lot of shopping! We highly recommend this tour. It was informative, fun, and so cool to see all the sites of Ephesus.
Excellent tour. Orkan the guide was very friendly and he explained all the history of Ephesus with passion and knowledge. It was a pleasure chatting with him. Professional driver as well. Nice spot for lunch. Highly recommended. Michele & Andreea
